Ede Szigligeti

In 1840 he was elected a member of the Academy and in 1845 a member of the Kisfaludy Society.

He supported himself for the next few years precariously enough, earning as le did little more than twelve florins a month, but at the same time he sedulously devoted himself to the theatre and sketched several plays, which differed so completely from the "original" plays then in vogue (The Played-out Trick actually appeared upon the boards) that they attracted the attention of such connoisseurs as Vorosmarty and Bajza who warmly encouraged the young writer.
